With MetroCard, the reduced fare is still $1.35 per ride, but further discounts are available by using multi-trip cards and you have the convenience of not carrying exact change.

For disabled riders who take the express bus to New York City, the fare is now just $3.75, coins or MetroCard. Refer to the full fare schedule.
